Catholic University single-sex dorm complaint dismissed

Quote
Washington D.C., Dec 1, 2011 / 05:51 am (CNA/EWTN News).- The D.C. Office of Human Rights has dismissed a complaint that The Catholic University of America’s single-sex dorm policy constitutes unlawful discrimination under the district’s Human Rights Act.

“We were confident from the beginning that our actions were entirely legal,” said John Garvey, president of The Catholic University of America, on Nov. 30.

John Banzhaf, a law professor at George Washington University, filed the legal complaint in response to an op-ed that Garvey wrote in the Wall Street Journal in June announcing that the university would be implementing single-sex housing in hopes of fighting binge drinking and hooking up.

On Nov. 29, the D.C. Office of Human Rights issued an order dismissing the complaint, saying that Banzhaf had failed to demonstrate that women under the new policy would lack “equivalent access to educational opportunities” or be subject to “material harm.”

The Office of Human Rights determined that Banzhaf’s arguments were based on “conjecture and speculation” rather than “factual allegations.”

That's the same ambulance-chaser, Banzhaf, that's after the same university for "violating" the "civil rights" of muslims because they don't have their own space in which to "pray" without having Catholic symbols "looming" over them.

Yeah I've had enough of little pissants like that.  His lawsuits should have been rejected outright due to lack of standing.  He may think himself such a clever iconoclast, doing his individual part to reduce us under nihilism, but I have news for him: people such as us here are like elephants, we don't forget. I have a lengthy mental list just waiting for game time.

In what universe is it a "right" for opposite sex students to be housed in the same dormitory? Good Lord.
"A strict observance of the written laws is doubtless one of the high duties of a good citizen, but it is not the highest. The laws of necessity, of self-preservation, of saving our country when in danger, are of higher obligation. To lose our country by a scrupulous adherence to written law, would be to lose the law itself, with life, liberty, property and all those who are enjoying them with us; thus absurdly sacrificing the end to the means."

In the universe of "civil rights" -- "rights" endowed by government, and since government has no rights of its own, it creates them by taking rights from one group and bestowing them on another.

This is the natural, inevitable progression of the idea and implementation of the "civil rights" era legislation.

I guess the same universe where you can illegally sneek into a country and demand your right to healthcare and benefits
